army painter speedpaints have metallics. they need a white undercoat like the rest of their speedpaints, which feels weird because metallics always need a black undercoat to make their pigments shine. speedpaints behave pretty much the same as contrast paints too.
Ultra marines are the poster boys for the 40 K universe. I called them ultra Smurfs and goody two shoes.. they are stuck up lawful paladins with an attitude.
Most of your paint jobs so far have shone from the first colour going on but I feel this one didn't show it's true colours till the end and then it all came together. I think that blue doesn't have the depth of shades that other colours you've used have and I'd be tempted to put an ol fashioned highlight over it.
@andybrown9143 thanks for your comment 👍 definitely a highlight would help make it pop a bit more. Thanks for the suggestion. Are you working on anything at the moment xx
@@BitsBoxWorld It might be your use of one white base coat thats limiting the highlights on the larger areas? A possible side by side comparison test here in the making?
@@BitsBoxWorld I'm not currently engaged in the hobby, more of a happy spectator at the moment. I did paint the figures out of the core space game just to have a playthrough of it. They were ok but lacked detail to really make use of the contrast paints. Next I'm thinking of doing some more papercraft models got a bundle on an old hdd to print out. There's some smart papercraft models about have you seen them? I go mostly for the sci-fi stuff myself.
